Tuscan engine just died
Discussion
Tuscan engine just cut out at Le Mans have car back now immobiliser appears to turn off but no fuel pump prime engine turns on starter . Fuel pump relay tested and works fine contacts good linked out contacts and pump runs. First port of call is to check if immobiliser is faulty but where do I find it pm if you don't want to post on open forum. Any other suggestions welcome will be on car tomorrow
Hi Ian
I was bored..... LOL, and found these pictures of her when I owned her. She certainly was one of the most immaculate Tuscans around. The hours..... No not hours, "Months" I spent laid underneath the car, cleaning every inch of the chassis, my girlfriend often used to say "I'm sure I bought a pack of new tooth brushes, but I can't find them.........LOL.
My neighbours often remind me that I used to wake them up when I used to go out on my early Sunday drive outs.
Really miss that car.
Good luck with sorting the problem on the engine out. It does sound like one of the immobiliser sensors is faulty.
Keep her mint, or I'll be after you....LOL.
Do you still have the Red Griff that you turned up in ??????

Thanks all who replied the end result is a poor contact on the immobiliser fuel pump circuit so being an electronics engineer & tight git i thought i will just change the relay to find it is potted in a big block of epoxy ! Jim i dont know how you managed to sell me that heap of crap i will be passing your door for Portsmouth on friday morning about 4am i will give you a knock to get my own back LOL. Joking aside its been good had a clutch slave go 12 months after i bought it changed the shocks as one was leaking then this, problem is both times it let me down has been abroad but 50% plus of my mileage is holidays so thats the risk went Tuscany OK last year. Yes i still have the Griff 500 clocked up 23K now have you still got the T350? Good to hear from you again

Hi Ian
No..... I'm running round in an ..... Don't Laugh...... Audi b6 S4 (4.2ltr). But I will be back with TVR before long.
I just need to find one in the same condition as my old Tuscan, which is proving hard to find.
Looking at the prices going up over the recent years, I'm going to have to spend a lot more than I sold mine for..... LOL.
They're certainly starting to appreciate in a big way, which is great news, unless you buying one.... LOL.
Good Luck, and great to see you found it to be a "relatively" simple fix.
I did notice though, it always happens to you when your over in Europe... LOL, maybe you should take a hint that she doesn't like Europe.
